Today Reminder - 22 December 2011

My prayer for you for today is that you will know the Holy Spirit is with you and that you will see and understand the power He can bring into your life. In Jesus Name.

Romans 8:26-28
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.

Do you have a life line, a person you always ask when you need advice. In many cases these people in our lives are our parents. When we need advice or help, they are the first we call, or it can be a good friend that we had for a long time. You see as humans we need companionship. We need somebody that we can talk to and share our feelings. I love those first few minutes when I see my son in the afternoons, how he immediately shares the highlights of his day followed by the things we must still buy that is outstanding in his toy collection. The Holy Spirit forms one of the most vital parts in our life as Christians. Jesus had to go so that God can send the Counsellor. Jesus also said that it is better for us that He goes, meaning that we will have so much more in the Holy Spirit. What Paul writes here just gives us that glimpse into the work of the Holy Spirit: “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.” And “The Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.” The Holy Spirit is the one that helps us when we are bombarded by the enemy, He is the one that tells us what to pray, and He is the one that fills me with today reminders. If you feel that you don’t know the Holy Spirit or that you don’t have this intimate relationship with Him, ask God to send the Holy Spirit to you, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His presence and to teach you how to understand Him and how to hear Him. He is God’s voice, but most important is that He pleads for us. The power of the Holy Spirit is unlimited and with Him in your life you will be able to move mountains. You remain in my prayers.

I am surely hoping that we will get more rain down here in South Africa.

 Have a super day filled with the Holy Spirit, friend of Jesus.

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
